Alfonso will become famous soon enough
That's right. I know botar from the number of Southamerican people I know in Madrid. But, as Iris said, I've never heard of it from a Spaniard. We say tirar la basura, tirar a la basura, tirar a la papelera, etc.
Other use Southamericans do with botar is botar a alguien de un sitio: Me botaron del avión, llevaba unas copas de más (again).

Thanks a lot, Poli, for enriching my vocabulary. I really appreciate that.
